<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
exceeds evaporation over land
Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
- Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
- Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.
STP means standard temperature and pressure which is equivalent to 273 K and 1 atm, respectively. Assuming ideal gas behavior, the solution for this problem is as follows:
PV = nRT
Solve for n,
n = RT/PV
n = (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K)(273 K)/(1 atm)(1×10⁵ L)
<em>n = 2.24×10⁻⁴ moles</em>
